It wasn't exactly the REV Smart Servo, but it was similar in nature. I don't have exact specs because I'm not sure of the model, but I'm going to make an educated guess that ours has a lower gear ratio. Ours was also underpowered so that makes sense.

If you've got plenty if power but a low speed, you can increase the length of the lever that you attach to the servo. Sorry I don't have more info! That's the disadvantage of being 200 miles away from the robot.
